A24's live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring carries an estimated production budget of approximately $200 million, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. This figure exceeds earlier industry estimates that placed the cost above $100 million.

The expenditure makes the project nearly three times more expensive than Marty Supreme and positions it as the most costly production in the studio's history. Such a financial scale aligns the adaptation with major mainstream blockbusters like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Jurassic World Rebirth, diverging from A24's typical low-budget releases.

An adaptation of Elden Ring is currently in development at A24 with a reported production budget of $200 million. This financial commitment more than doubles the previous record set by the studio, which belonged to the Timothée Chalamet-led Marty Supreme at $70 million.

Director Satoru Nihei revealed that Onimusha: Way of the Sword intentionally avoided a Metal Gear Rising-style cutting system during development. Capcom started the project six years ago with a strong focus on action details to convey power and excitement.

The team wanted reactive mechanics that dynamically reflect the player's specific playstyle and abilities. Development leveraged Capcom's extensive internal technology and asset library to give the game a unique edge. This technical foundation allows the studio to deliver a diverse range of actions that competitors cannot easily replicate.
